What type of fuel is uranium?
Uranium is nuclear fuel not renewable.The source of energy is the nuclear fission.
What Power plant that uses uranium as a source of energy?
Uranium (or plutonium) is a source of energy (nuclear fuel) in nuclear power plants.
What are examples of using uranium as an energy source?
Uranium is a nuclear fuel for nuclear power reactors.
Why are rising fuel prices and global fear of global warming igniting interest in uranium around Australia?
Uranium is a source of energy that is able to run generators without any hot house gases getting into the air. Australia is one of the words biggest suppliers of uranium and they stand to make a lot of money supplying it to energy poor country's.
Where is unranium found?
Uranium is mined and distilled from underground. 25% of uranium is found in Canada, the rest is in Australia, Kazakhstan, Niger, Russia, and Namibia. Uranium is found in ores, mostly uranium oxides.
What are the fuel sources for nuclear power plant?
Natural uranium has about 0.7 percent U235, this has to be increased to about 4 percent for use in natural water moderated reactors. The obtaining of uranium from mining and refining is described in the document linked below
What kind of material is nuclear fuel?
According to the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, nuclear fuel is from three different kinds of fuel. The special one consists of uranium-233, uranium-235, enriched uranium, or plutonium. The Source is from natural uranium or thorium. It can also come from depleted uranium not suitable as a reactor fuel. The byproduct can come from radioactive material. They also contain waste and tailings made by extracting or concentrating the uranium or thorium from an ore processed mainly for its content of source material.
What are the raw materials neeeded for nuclear energy?
Uranium mined as an ore is the source of the fuel.
Ubiquitous and unusual named after the 7th rock from the sun one lb of this nuclear fuel source is equivantent to 1500 tons of coal?
Uranium is the element being referred to here. It is named after the planet Uranus, the 7th planet from the sun. Uranium is a nuclear fuel source that is highly efficient; just one pound of uranium can produce as much energy as 1500 tons of coal.
Where do powerplants get uranium?
Power plants typically source uranium from mines located around the world. The uranium is mined, processed, and then enriched to the appropriate level for use in nuclear reactors. Some uranium may also come from reprocessed nuclear fuel.
How is uranium used as a fossil fuel?
Uranium is not a fossil fuel; uranium is used as nuclear fuel for nuclear power reactors.
Where does the nuclear plants get their uranium I heard it came from unarmed missiles is this true?
Australia and Canada supply newly mined uranium. In the US the reduction of nuclear weapons has made uranium and plutonium available and I think this is also being used. plutonium can be used with uranium in so called MOX fuel (mixed oxide fuel)
